Int. Cl. Ctl'lc 69/40 US. Cl. 260-485 H 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THEDISELOSURE Quaternary ammonium salts having a lipophilic groupcovalently linked to the quaternary nitrogen through bydroxysuccinyloxyor hydroxysuccinylamino radicals are disclosed. These quaternaryammonium salts are useful as monomeric emulsion stabilizers.

This application is a continuation-in-part of copending application Ser.No. 867,900, filed Oct. 20, 1969, now abandoned.

This invention relates to stabilizing agents for emulsionpolymerization. More particularly it relates to a class of quaternizedorganic salts which serve simultaneously as stabilizing agents foremulsion polymerizations and as monomeric reactants in thepolymerization, so that the salts become an integral part of thepolymer, which is thereby self-stabilized without the use ofsurfactants.

Polymeric latices, derived from ethylenically-unsaturated monomers, arewidely used for a variety of applications, such as adhesive masses andbinders for nonwoven fabrics. Most conventional polymeric latices areproduced by an emulsion polymerization process, in which monomericmaterials are polymerized while they are dispersed in an aqueous mediumby means of a surface active agent. The surface active agent may beanionic in nature, such as soap or sodium lauryl sulfate. Alternatively,it may be of a nonionic type as represented by various ethylene oxidederivatives, or by polyhydroxy compounds, or it may be cationic, asrepresented by alkyl ammonium halides. Cationic agents are preferablycombined with a nonionic agent for improved performance. Thepolymerization of monomeric materials is also frequently elfected in thepresence of water-soluble protective colloids or stabilizing agents. Anyof the above emulsifying or stabilizing agents leads to the presence ofa water-sensitive ingredient in the final polymeric latex. For latexutilizations wherein wet strength and resistance to the influence ofwater are desirable, as in most paper coatings, nonwoven fabrics,certain pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, and the like, the presence ofa water-sensitive ingredient in the polymeric mass is undesirable.

A preferred method of avoiding the presence of watersensitive elementsin a polymeric latex is to employ what is termed herein monomericemulsion stabilizersthat is, a class of organic'monomer whichco-polymerizes with the ethylenically-unsaturated monomers, becoming apart of the final polymer, but which stabilize the polymerizationprocess against the formation of coagulum and against subsequent phaseseparation. Such monomeric emulsion stabilizers may becationically-charged nitrogen compounds as set forth in US. Pat. No.3,399,159 wherein the use of monomers such as vinyl pyridines,acid-amines, and certain nitrogen-containing acrylic derivatives isdescribed.

Now it has been found that selected quaternary ammonium salts whereinthe quaternized nitrogen is covalently linked to a lipophilic groupthrough a hydroxysuccinyloxy or hydroxysuccinylmino group are excellentmon- Patented Aug. 7, 1973 omeric emulsion stabilizers for thepolymerization of ethylenically-unsaturated monomers.

More particularly, the compounds of this invention have the formulawherein V is an ethylenically-unsaturated radical; R is zero or adiradical; R" is a diradical; A is oxygen or -NH-; R and R areindependently selected alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aryl, R OCO-CH or wherein Ris hydrogen or alkyl or together part of a heterocyclic amino radical inwhich the quaternary nitrogen atom in Formula I is part of the ring; Ris a lipophilic radical comprising an aliphatic hydrocarbon group havingabout 7 to about 28 carbon atoms; and X" is a halide, alkyl sulfatewherein the alkyl moiety has 1 to 4 carbon atoms or toluene sulfonateradical. Isomers of compounds I wherein the lipophilic radical R isattached to the carbon atom adjacent to the carbonyl group are alsoincluded in the scope of this invention.

These compounds I are readily prepared from available materials, andthus are attractive for use in commercial operations.

While any compound having the general Formula I can be providedaccording to this invention, preferred monomeric emulsion stabilizersinclude these compounds 1 where V is an ethylenically-unsaturatedradical selected from the group consisting of acryloyloxy,methacryloyloxy, acrylamido, methacryamido, vinyloxy, allyloxy,methallyloxy, vinylacetoxy, allylacetoxy, methallylacetoxy, allyl,methallyl, and acid ester groups or acid amido groups such as4-hydroxymaleoyloxy and 4-hydroxyfu maroyloxy (HOCOCH=CHCOO),4-hydroxymaleoylarnino and 4-hydroxyfumaroylamino (HOCOCH=CH-CONH-),4-hydroxycitraconoyloxy (HO COCH=C(CH )CO O),

4-hydroxycitraconoylamino (HOCOCH=C (CH )CONH) 4-hydroxyitaconoyloxy(HO-COCHg-fi-0 O 0-) R and R" are independently selected ethylene,propylene, isopropylene, 2-hydroxypropylene, acetoxypropylene or OCH---CHR ,(O-CH -CHR Where n is zero to 4 and R is hydrogen or methyl;with the proviso that R is zero where V is vinylacetoxy, allylacetoxy,methallylacetoxy, allyl, or methallyl;

A is oxygen or NH;

R1 and R2 are (2.) independently selected from the group consisting ofalkyl having 1 to 7 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl having 1 to 7 carbonatoms, benzyl, R OCO CH and R NH-CO-CH Where'R is hydrogen or alkylhaving 1 to 4 carbon atoms; or

(b) together part of a morpholinium or piperidinium moiety; R is alipophilic aliphatic hydrocarbon group having from about 7 to about 28carbon atoms including saturated, unsaturated, straight-chain andbranched groups, and mixtures thereof; and

X- is halide, e.g., fluoride, chloride, bromide, or iodide; alkylsulfate wherein the alkyl moiety has 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or toluenesulfonate.

The monomeric emulsion stabilizers having the Formula I can besynthesized by several convenient methods. F or example, according toone process an alkyl or alkenyl succinic anhydride is reacted with atertiary-amino alcohol or amine, to provide an intermediate which issubsequently reacted with a monomer containing an active halogen atom toprovide compounds I wherein X is halide. This reaction is illustrated bythe following general equation wherein V, R, R", A, and R are aspreviously described.

Exemplificative tertiary-amino alcohols and amines H suitable for use inthe preparation of compounds I include dimethylaminoethanol,methylpropylaminopropanol, dibutylamino isopropylamine,dimethylaminoacetoxypropanol and hydroxypropyl piperidine.

The alkyl or alkenyl succinic anhydrides III are readily provided byknown methods, such as by reacting maleic anhydride with an olefin asdescribed in US. Pat. 2,741,597. Illustrative compounds III includeheptenyl succinic anhydride, octacosasuccinic anhydride, n-heptylsuccinic anhydride, iso-octadecenyl succinic anhydride, etc.

Representative monomers having the formula VRX include Z-bromoethylacrylate, 2-chloroethylacrylamide, allyl chloroacetate, methallylchloroacetate, acryloyloxypropenyl chloride, 3-methacryloyloxy,2-hydroxypropylene chloride, acryloyloxydi(ethylenoxy) ethylenechloride, allyl bromide, methallyl chloride, etc.

The reaction to provide the monomeric emulsion stabilizers I isgenerally carried out at temperatures from about C. to about 100 C., buthigher or lower temperatures can be employed. Preferably, temperaturesbetween about 25 C. and about 100 C. are used.

Although the reaction proceeds readily in the absence of a solvent,diluents such as water, acetonitrile, dimethyl formamide, ethyl acetate,methanol and methylene chloride can be suitably employed. Monomers suchas acrylonitrile can also be utilized as solvents in the preparation ofthe monomeric emulsion stabilizers. While compounds 'I can be isolatedprior to use in polymerization reactions, preferably they are used intheir reaction solutions.

Alternately, the above-described process can be reversed by firstquaternizing the tertiary-amino compound II by the monomer VR'X,followed by reaction with the alkyl or alkenyl succinic anhydride HI.

Another suitable method for preparing the monomeric emulsion stabilizershaving the Formula I wherein X- is halide comprises quaternizing a vinylmonomer containing a tertiary-amine group by a halo-alcohol or amine,followed by reaction with the alkyl or alkenyl succinic anhydride inaccordance with the following general equation wherein V, R, R", A, R RR and X- are as first described.

Again, as in the first process, the order of the above reaction can bereversed.

A third general procedure for the preparation of Compounds I comprisesthe reaction of an alkyl or alkenyl succinic anhydride with a vinylcontaining tertiary amino alcohol or amine followed by quaternization asillustrated by the following equation. All compounds included in Formula-I can be prepared by this method with the exception of those monomericemulsion stabilizers wherein R and R together are part of a morpholiniumor piperidinium moiety.

For example, vinyl containing tertiary amino alcohols such asallylbenzylaminoethanol; 4-hydroxymaleoylaminoethyl,Z-aminoethylmethylamine, etc. can be employed as starting materials inthis process. Suitable quaternizing agents include dimethyl sulfate,dibutyl sulfate, methyl toluene sulfonate, ethylchloroacetate,propylchloroacetate, chloroacetamide, methyl bromide, bromoethanol,bromoheptanol, etc.

All Compounds I where X- is alkyl sulfate in which the alkyl moiety has1 to 4 carbon atoms, or toluene sulfonate can be provided by reactingthe corresponding quaternary ammonium halide with an appropriate alkalimetal salt, e.g. sodium methyl sulfate, sodium butyl sulfate, sodiumtoluene sulfonate, etc.

Particularly preferred monomeric emulsion stabilizers include thoseCompounds I wherein V is allyl, methallyl, vinylacetoxy, allylacetoxy ormethallylacetoxy; R is zero; R" is ethylene, propylene or isopropylene;A is oxygen or NH; R and R are (a) independently selected alkyl having 1to 4 carbon atoms, or (b) together part of a morpholinium orpiperidinium moiety; R is a lipophilic aliphatic hydrocarbon grouphaving about 7 to about 28 carbon atoms; and X is halide; and CompoundsI wherein V is acryloyloxy, methacryloyloxy, vinyloxy, or4-hydroxymaleoyl; R and R" are independently selected ethylene,propylene or isopropylene groups; A is oxygen; R and R are (a)independently selected alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; or (b) togetherpart of a morpholinium or piperidinium moiety; R is a lipophilicaliphatic hydrocarbon group having from about 7 to 28 carbon atoms; andX" is halide.

The monomeric emulsion stabilizers described in this invention are a newand exceptionally efficient species, promoting the smooth and readypolymerization of a wide variety of ethylenically-unsaturated monomers.

Illustrative ethylenically-unsaturated monomers suitable forcopolymerizing with the monomeric emulsion stabilizers of this inventioncomprise vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, and acrylicmonomers in general represented by the formula where R is a hydrogenatom or a methyl group, and R is an alkyl radical of 1 to 14, andpreferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms. As is known in the art of preparingacrylic ester polymers, the softness of the polymer and the diflicultyof initiating polymerization increase as the number of carbon atoms inthe ester group increases. In the practice of this invention, when theacrylic monomer contains more than 8 carbon atoms in the ester group, itis advantageous to mix therewith at least about 20 mole percent of anacrylic ester with fewer than 4 carbon atoms in the ester group toinitiate polymerization and enhance the stability of the dispersion.

Mixtures of more than one such ethylenically-unsaturated monomer may beused, and in order to impart special properties of toughness, rigidity,or cross-linking reactivity to the polymer, a minor proportion, usuallyless than 20 mole percent, of the major monomer may be replaced by someother ethylenically-unsaturated monomer such as vinyl esters, typifiedby vinyl laurate and vinyl stearate; vinyl others such as vinyl methylether, vinyl ethyl ether, and vinyl butyl ether; di-unsaturated monomerssuch as diethylene glycol diacrylate, ethylene glycol diitaconate,diallyl phthalate, divinyl benzene and the like; acrylic and methacrylicacids, acrylamide and methacrylamide, hydroxyethyl acrylate andmethacrylate, and hydroxypropyl acrylate and methacrylate, and styrene.

In general, in the polymerization process of this invention, 0.1 to 10percent by weight of monomeric emulsion stabilizer is employed, with 1to 5 percent by weight being preferred. The amount of monomeric emulsionstabilizer is based on the total monomers added to the polymerizationreaction.

Aqueous polymeric dispersions may be prepared according to thisinvention in which the solid polymer content is 40% to 50% by weight. Ifdesired, the solids content may be diluted to 1% by weight or less, withexcellent retention of stability at both the higher and lowerconcentrations.

The monomeric emulsion stabilizers of this invention are useful in bothbatch and continuous polymerization processes.
